Hi,

I am trying to filter for the colored bars like you can see in this image:

Right now I try with a mean()over the rgb image and crop all under this threshold.
But then it looks like this:

Do you have any idea what I could do better or other methods for getting the color?
Or should I just search for the colors? (There are about 10 colors that can occur)

You can use the HSV-color wheel here to choose correct color.

To filter all but the color bars or to filter for each color that can occur?

There are two soluation here: 1. in color space(RGB ,HSV,CYM.......): use inRange 2. separate each color channel that easy to handle: use threshold. you can use filter to reduce some noise.

Just as a remark. The RBG (or BGR for OpenCV) is the worst color space for efficient color thresholding. I suggest using the HSV color space like suggested!

Yes, for color detection I am using HSV already, but was wondering how I could segment the bars best.

when you decide to use hsv color space then drawing histogram and try in error to get threshold value Remember that the in each color space min, & max. threshold value may fail in 0<=min<=max<=255 or 0~min & max~255. Finally you use morphology like erode,dilate,region filling etc,and get the shape you want.
